I'm kind of a Calibre newbie. I've used it for a while but mostly to store and organize my ebooks.

Recently when I converted a book from AZW3 in which page numbers were recognized to MOBI I lost my page numbers. I know that MOBI recognizes page numbers, so, I figure if it happens with this conversion it must be a setting in Calibre that I need to change. What settings do I need to change in Calibre when converting from one format to another to prevent loosing page number recognition.

I've tried to figure this out myself, I've looked at meta data and Book conversion, but with no luck. I'd appreciate some help.

I'm not sure this will help, but I don't see page numbers when looking at my books in the Calibre viewer even before the conversion, so, I'm not sure what to do. Also after conversion I transferred the book to my kindle via Calibre using my kindle email. Content wise everything else is good, just no page numbers.
